As a point of conversation, he was referencing relation

From the corner he came from, the company he'd keep

She was from the country far from the city

They shared one love, they were destined for defeat

D
He was tortured, he was troubled
G
She was sick and she was lost
CD
Searching for an answer, rebels with a cause
G
Doing what they do to get what they need
DG
Life was cheap, there were no guarantees
[INTERLUDE 1]

So give a kid hand, lift him up and dust him off
